so is the object model modification to be done in which side?

Mesh and Armature are already clean tp_getset and can now act as examples to 
where the rewrite can start, like in Camera - right?

we dont use python much anymore, just keep Render, Mesh, Object, Actions etc. 
intact and the addition of an NLA api, basically just the Strip type, would 
be nice :)

i have drafted tests, in py, for the new object model that we discussed in 
that one meeting. simple stuff like:

sourcearm = Blender.armatures['armature']
newarm = Blender.Armature()
arm.copyPoseFrom(sourcearm)
assert newarm.pose == sourcearm.pose
